Trade seller didn't disclose Cat S car
acerbic replied to acerbic's topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers
Thanks, I would say that it's fit for purpose but I'm having it checked by a garage that I trust. It's my daughter that will be driving the car after all. I know that I've had incorrect information, whether deliberately or not. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't barking up the wrong tree. Last thing I'd want to do is get to court and the wrong legislation is being used. I'm hopeful that when I issue court proceedings he'll come to an agreement with me but I need to be prepared to go the distance, which I am. Kind regards Nick -
Trade seller didn't disclose Cat S car
acerbic replied to acerbic's topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers
Bought on 21 August and started cancellation dialogue after receiving the log book on Tuesday 18 Sep 2018 from DVLA. Interestingly, I have just received a bizarre letter from DVLA asking if we still own the vehicle as they have received an application for the vehicle. It's all getting a bit strange. -
Trade seller didn't disclose Cat S car
acerbic posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers
Hoping someone can help. I recently bought a car from a trade seller for my daughter after seeing an advert on FB. I went and viewed the vehicle, and I asked the seller some specific questions, one of which was "has the car ever been written off?" (I have a witness who was with me when the questions were asked). The seller said it hadn't and I also got a friend who is a car dealer to do a full HPI check, which came back clean. The seller said that he hadn't received the log book (V5) back from DVLA and that we would have to apply for it. Nothing untoward with that. I purchased -
When does she get paid from?
acerbic replied to acerbic's topic in Employment and minimum wage problems
Many thanks to all. We have waited until she had been paid to know how many hours she has been paid for. As I suspected, the hours are well short of the hours she actually worked. Most of the other parents of the young children feel the same way, but I'm not doing it for them just my daughter. It was a one off event, but was well publicised locally. I need to know what to do next in order to get the money owed to my daughter with the minimal fuss. Do I send a letter before action? What am I claiming for, what contract has he breached? I do realise that he may have broken the law regarding -
When does she get paid from?
acerbic replied to acerbic's topic in Employment and minimum wage problems
Hmm. She is only 16 too. I know there are certain laws surrounding her age and breaks. I wonder if it's worth approaching the boss and see what he says. Most of the time she was there from 8.30am to 10.30pm, a 14 hour day. But she'll only get paid from 10.00am to 4.30pm then 6.30pm to 10.30pm. Doesn't sound fair to me. -
My daughter has just finished being a frightnight actor at an attraction. She was asked by the boss to be at work for 8.30am every day, for make up but was told that she wouldn't paid until the place opened at 10.00am. She was told that she had a two hour unpaid break in the afternoon from 4.30pm to 6.30pm. BUT she was expected to be in make-up getting ready during this two hours break. Question is, is right that she doesn't get paid for those hours even though they form and integral part of the working day? If he's asked that she be there early, does he have to pay her if he's requested he

You will not have to go to Northampton. You will, ( I think), get sent an allocation questionnaire from the court after you file your defence. The allocation questionnaire will ask where you want the case to be heard, that's where you say XXXXX. Have you sent the court an acknowledgement of service? I am going through the court process at the moment and have a couple of days left to file my defence. If it helps, you're not alone.

Developer/Manager/Road Owner Suing
acerbic replied to acerbic's topic in Residential and Commercial lettings/Freehold issues
I have nearly finished my defence, but I am struggling with one particular piece of the argument. I want to argue that the residents shouldn't have to pay the costs of running an office that receives two letters per year that directly relate to us, and sends out eleven invoices a year that directly relate to us. I don't want the developer to be able to use his office costs in the calculation of the management charge, (that's basically all the management charge is anyway), when we get in front of the Judge. Anyone help with the words on this one, submitting the defence on Thursday. -
Developer/Manager/Road Owner Suing

I intend to defend part of the claim as follows, that the charges levied are unreasonable and I will use the Landlord and tenant act 1985 section 18(1) as the basis for this. I will be paying the actual charges the have been incurred, ie electricity and pumping station cost. I want to leave it to a judge to determine a reasonable amount for "management". -

Hi Kirmistan and thanks for your thoughts on this, I do agree that it could look bad on my part to have not paid anything. My reason for this is simply that I wanted to have the judge tell us what was fair and reasonable, not have him bully us all with threats of court action if they didn't pay up. The residents have written to him before asking for accounting of the management charges, and he put them up because we asked !!! (£395 to £495), then they went up again after he had to pay his own costs from a previous court case involving another resident. (£495 to £695). I fear even that if I do -

Anybody able to help word the defence with me, I need to say that the management charges are unfair. CPUTR rules?? Has pre action protocol been followed, what do I need to say regards that? Anyone please.... -
The developer has issued a claim against me. The developer is also the manager and owner of the private road on which we live. I intend to fully dispute the claim. The date of service is today, 3rd May so I have a little time to get things together. He is claiming £265 for what he states in the POC as "charges incurred by our company on behalf of the residents of XXX which is a private road owned by our company. There are clauses in the sales contract for each property which allows us to pass on the charges and make a charge for management costs. The 10 other residents have settled the
